East Tawas Color Tour

Hey There!
Just sharing some pics of our trip to East Tawas....Tim and I got lucky and got a spot at East Tawas City Park RV joint.....Spot 169...have a great view of the train coming thru at midnight....and then another one that comes thru right after that.  I thought it was funny and it made me crack up.  Tim felt differently.
We went to the Huron National Park, Tawas Point State Park, Oscoda and East Tawas.  Fit it all in in one day and didn't feel like we were rushing or anything.
We stopped at the Garden View Coffee Mill....in Oscoda.  I dont know what it was called before, but the Quilty Chicks went there for lunch a few years back...it was that sweet little  tea place.

Anyway, here's some pics of the day......

Lazy blogging

I took this pic on my camera...I just crammed everything onto my empty design wall and took a pic.
This quilt is a birthday gift for a little girl whose favorite colors are pink and purple.
I think I have the colors down...now it's all about getting an arrangement I like.

The pink fabric at the top will be my borders...when it gets here.  I dont have enough to do the job but I did order some from Fabric Shack (located in Waynesville, Ohio.  Close to home so it should get here quick...fingers crossed!)
I'm hoping that the picture is clear....because I'm much too lazy to go looking for my camera right now!

East Tawas Weekend

Tim and I went up to East Tawas this weekend for the Blues Festival.
We got there Friday evening, around 9......
Got our drink on kinda early Saturday @ Barnacle Bills....we had some outdoor seats that let us enjoy good music and great people watching.
However...we spent most of our time on the porch of The Harbor Star....

 And on the couch in front of the Bristol race....

 A little more time on the porch....

 And a little more time on the couch......

I also spent a little bit of time sewing.  These are some blocks that I randomly pieced from the black and white shirt scraps....they started out the size of the block in the lower left corner.  I decided to cut them in two and randomly sash them with solids.

I'm liking how they look so far....hopefully I will get back to them soon!

Scenes From Turn Two

A Real Wonder Woman.....

My friend Claudette is Proof Positive that while we might have to grow up and grow older, we do not have to stop having silly, wet-your-pants fun.

Look up fun in the dictionary....you will see this girl.

Need to add life to your party?  Call this girl.

(Just be warned...she will bring her camera and capture You and Your inner-child!)

A Little Insight

Into how my brain works.....

Losing my mind....

THIS is what I did today.
(Among other things)
This silly star finished at 1 7/8".
My Darling husband suggested that an entire quilt made up of these might be fun.
My question?  For Whom would that be fun?

Oh, Janome!

I was on a roll this morning, working on the string pieced border for the latest version of Stripes, when the Janome chugged, struggled, and stopped working.
So here she sits, waiting to go to the shop for what  I hope will be a very quick repair.

Thank goodness I have a spare...although without my automatic thread cutter and quarter inch foot, I will not be zipping along quite as quickly as I had been.
